Un Café Pour Moi
The sunshine felt so good walking back from school this morning.
The garden is changing, slowly - figs, pomegranates and olives abound
Washing on the line and through the secret gate to our neighbours'.
A coffee and a chat with Andrée,
What a wonderful way to the start the day!
I will be back with the giveaway winner soon!

Tu Me Fais Tourner La Tête
French children went back to school today.
I thought it would be nice to celebrate by taking a peek at this beautiful
new AW children's collection by
G is for Gemini
Aren't these sweet?
I'm not quite sure how long these toys have been on the market but I was immediately drawn to their minimalist Kokeshi-type faces and pretty painted bodies.
The Gemini wooden and felt peg-doll playset is made in Germany by award-winning toymaker Kellner Steckfiguren. It is distributed by Naef and can be yours for 16.50 EUR, (excl. tax).
A happy find for Colour My Monday, and perhaps one to bookmark for Christmas?
via Plumetis Magazine (which you really should take a look at)
Larger Than Life
So, It's Monday.
A 6am wake-up call for me.
Dur ! Dur !
Back to school
Today
Bonne Rentrée !

Five Faves #62
I'm suppposed to be at a local flea market this morning but it's pouring it down.
It's not exactly the Braderie de Lille but it's usually one of the best vide grenier around, and I was so looking forward to a good rummage, never mind.
I hope your Sunday is shaping up better than mine.
Voici my Five Faves
